We were shown upon Yesterday,


We We're shown upon yesterday,
statement, from the Ordnance
Bureau of tho Navy Department, of
the marble spoken of in our columns,
couple of weeks ago, as belonging
to Capt Frank Barrett. The block
sent on. was one and sixty -seven
one-hundreths of an inch long, with
a compressed surface of one and
eighty one-hundreths of an inch and
asectional area of three and twenty
four e-hundreths of an inch. A
hydrostatic test shows that the block
of above described dimensions shows
that it would bear a pressure of 3d.
9s6 pounds without crushing, and
pressure of 1913 pounds to the
square inch. An absorption test
has been made by soaking the
block in water for twenty four
hours, andthen re.weighing, and it
proves practically impervious to
water. 1t has stood the air test for
nineteen years, it having been work
ed into tombstones which were
erected in the family burying
ground of the party from whom
Captain Barrett purchased Its
weight is 179 pounds to the cubic
foot. Our home marble workers
have worked it and pronounce it
the, finest marble they ever handled.
1t is of,the same grade of marble, as
whatis called "Knoxn Tennessee, of
a lightsgray color, with dark wavy
hues. Its susceptible of the high
est polish and yields readily to the
chisel. Captain Barrett has on this

are satisfied Captain Barrett would
meet them half way.

1t is settled that wines and liquors can be
served to hotel guests in New York hereafter.
The General Term of the Supreme Court says
80 unanimously, and the hotel-keepers are
happy. The decision turns upon the interpre-
tation of the words as beverage" and
the learned Judges hold that the design
of the statute was to prevent the indls-
criminate sale of intoxicating liquors to
the general public on Sundays and cleo
ton days. Justice Lawrence's adverse
decision, the appeal from which is now passed
upon, was based OH the wording of the license
issued by the Excise Board and did not touch
the merits of the question. That point IS ruth
iessly swept aside, the language of the license
clearly not affecting the meaning OF the statute.
Presiding Justice Van Brunt goes so far as to
say that the strict construction of the law made
by the Corporation Counsel would prevent one
from giving glass of wine even to the men,
beers of his own family. The Legislature, the
Judges claim, could never have intended this,
and it is only reasonable to usescommon sense
IN interpreting such law

finally passed Sharp came to him and ar
ranged for a meeting with Moloney, at which
Pearson signed the call for the special Alder
mems meeting next morning. The fact that
sharp gave him the first information that the
meeting was to be held is decidedly important
as showing Sharp's interest in the matter. NO
questions in regard to bribery or doodle
were put TO Pearson, who might have refused
to testify on the ground of Standardization.
Another interesting witness was Edward H.
Phelps. lobbyist at Albany. who glcefully told
how Sharp gave him $4,000 for his services
in getting the act passed that made the Broad
way railroad possiblc-a circumstance ilustrat-
ing Sharps habitual methods.
The defence Of course will say that all this
has nothing to do with the present case, but
they cannot in that way dismiss the damaging
facts disclosed by the books which show how
difficult it was to account for the proceeds of
the. bonds sold presumably to raise the
100000 doodle 1t will not be easy to en-
plain the entry "sndrios' if that represents
